Thank you for this. I grow milkweed for the monarch butterflies but didn't know it was good as medicine. You are the greatest
Try eating the insides of the seed pods while the innards are still milky. Few things are tastier. :0)
Yes I've left milk weed in my front garden for that. It's taking over a bit too much.
It's weird I didn't try to start growing it.
Thank you for telling us about the latex in the shoots for getting rid of warts. I just found out about this and was looking for more confirmation.
I am in your school and I love watching your videos!
I grow common milkweed to attract and promote the monarch butterflies.
The caterpillar eat the leaves but not the sap from the stalk.
It's a huge part of my butterfly garden,
Yup. Monarchs are smart. The leaves are tasty. I like them too. :0)

I'm in indiana, and our milkweeds don't look like that. Sweet smelling, globe-shaped flowers, followed by green, parakeet-looking pods. I planted them for monarchs.
There are a lot of plants in the genus that are very different. I usually use Asclepias speciosa.
You briefly mention milkweed for gallbladder. How would you use it? In a tea maybe? How often? Just for the attacks or hopefully more as a way to heal the gallbladder and prevent future attacks?
It would be useful both for attacks and as a general tonic for the bile system.
For stones, this one is worth a look.

Milkweed dose would be a teaspoon or two times daily of the dry, powdered herb. You can make a tea or just throw it in a little juice or a smoothie. Doesn't matter much how you get it into your body. :0)
Hey Doc what do you recommend for someone having gallbladder problems I really enjoy all of your videos appreciate the time you spend thanks
Milkweed root is good for attacks. This works well for gallstones in some folks:

Thank you for that! Where I live there is the Asclepias fruticosa. Has it got the same medicinal properties?
Yes I was hoping this is for gallbladder and liver . I have a client requesting this . I can’t find it anywhere online . Need some .
So how do you use it? Alcohol Tincture for the roots?
If someone is allergic to latex is this safe for them??
If I have a latex allergy, am I likely to have a reaction to latex plants also? Percent chance of cross reactivity?
Hey Doc! If you are allergic to latex should you NOT use any part of latex plants? I have this plant ALL over my property. And I have an allergy from my pharmacy days that at this point is mild (just causes an itchy rash). Thanks!
I'd be very careful with anything that contains latex Jennie. Some foods and herbs can cause cross-reactions with latex allergy folks.
You talk about the root being good for kidney stones and other kidney ailments and conditions, and when to harvest the root, but then you sorta just drop the subject and move on. Did I miss something, like what exactly to do with the root to get it to help my kidneys? Do I boil it to make a tea? Use it fresh or dry it out? Gnaw on it raw after washing? I apologize if I’m missing something, but what exactly do I do with the root to make it useful, and is the root the only part of the plant containing potential medicinal benefits? Again, I apologize in advance for my confusion
Latex allergy means you should avoid this plant? Any others?
Dandelion, prickly lettuce....anybody with white, sticky sap should be a red flag.
@@HomeGrownHerbalist I get no audio well reading comets a while. I have a latex allergy but dandelion sap is no problem! Had milkweed sap on me as well and no reaction.
If you are allergic to latex should you NOT use any part of latex plants? I have this plant ALL over my property.
Stay away from any latex Jennie.
Mine looks totally different than that on though (colorful flowers). I'm down in Florida. Can I use mine the same way?
Would any variety of milkweed serve the purposes you described herein?
I'll add to the question: including Butterfly Weed, aka Orange Glory? I'm guessing they all are, but I won't be giving up any of mine since we raise butterflies, tons being Monarchs, and Milkweed runs out pretty quickly with so many little mouths to feed... . 😏
Tinctures with 100% Vodka? Teas? Powders?
@@LezaRay It's a big genus, I'd stick with true milkweed as I don't have any experience with the others.
@@LezaRay 80 or 100 proof vodka would be fine. Or make a tea or throw the powdered herb in a little juice or some such.
@@HomeGrownHerbalist Thanks so much! So only common milkweed. 🙂
youtube the sound away when you speak, intro and ending have sound
We call Sow Thistle milk weed. I thought it was the same but .... nope lol
